Step 8. Specify Proxy Appliance

At the Proxy Appliance step of the wizard, you can specify the proxy appliance settings. A proxy appliance is an auxiliary Linux-based instance. During the restore process, Veeam Backup & Replication uses the proxy appliance to upload disks of a backed up machine to AWS.

The proxy appliance is non-persistent. Veeam Backup & Replication automatically deploys the appliance in AWS only for the duration of the restore process and removes it immediately after that.
